I've got black leather! I'm actually really relieved I was able to find any (and it's pretty thin, too, which is excellent) so I wouldn't have to start looking for a paper substitute for the covers. Now it's just a matter of cutting them to the right sizes and then painting in the title (definitely need to leave a few hours for that, I think). The leather is really nice and I think it will look great on the covers and give the book a nice tactile quality. I also found some nice end paper which I'm hoping will work for the book.
In other news, still working on finishing up the illustrations (man, they take forever). I've got two more left and the spot illustrations, so definitely getting there. I'll try to put up a few new spreads once I finish off the illustrations (especially once I get the spot illustrations in there).
Next on the list after finishing the illustrations will be another practice book so I can figure out the kinks in my stitching (need to make it as perfect as possible since the binding will be exposed).
I'll keep you informed and try to add some new visuals soon!
